i have accepted a job working for another county in michigan. its not to far of a move, only about 20 minutes away from where i live now. but its better pay/insurance/retirement than what i have now. the only down side is that my vacation starts over and i wont be able to go on any fun trips this year. i'll be going from 3 weeks back to 5 days. nothing i could do about that... its sort of a bummer since i had been thinking of doing a few of the badweb trips. i guess they'll have to wait till next year. my old duties involved miscellaneous appraisals studies heading up a team of 2 people. my new duties include primary appraiser for all commercial and industrial properties with an office staff of 8 people. it should be interesting, wish me luck. maybe its time to get a new bike.. hmmm. | ||

i live in Petoskey. i'll be working in the Charlevoix area. but i have friends in grand rapids and family in the detroit area that i visit quite often. when it comes to bike riding i'm up for anywhere really. i ride in the evening after work probably 2-3 nights a week. and i do the occasional long ride on the weekend. | ||

Good for you! Now, about that new bike?  | ||

I will be in Traverse City this weekend.... Going to the Blessing in Baldwin. Sort of a tradition with my dad. Congrats on the new job. Petoskey and Charlevoix are nice areas. | ||

Hay were you riding near Bellaire last weekend? Cause i saw a 9R around M-88 and US31... just curious.. My family has a cottage in Bellair. Right off M-88 on Intermediate lake... I will have to keep ya informed when ever i am up there. I will be there this weekend. but i don't know if i am bringing my bike.. cause it is the Golf weekend w/ my father,grandfather, and uncle. But if you are up for it, i will try to bring the bike and we can get a ride in maybe saturday.. but we are golfing friday, saturday, and sunday.. so it would be later on in the day saturday.. | ||

i was out this weekend. but i was in and around cheboygan, up to the bridge, then back through harbor and on to petoskey. i have a white xb9r, the buell vanson jacket and the black blue and white helmet. i do know of a few other buells in the petoskey area. Buell_brad lives in the area, along with another guy with a black tuber (sorry, i don't know what kind) that goes to college here in petoskey. i'd be up for a ride this weekend. we've gotten some rain here he last few days. i'm not sure what the weather will be like. but i bet m-119 (lower shore drive) would be a nice ride. | ||

Well if it is raining much this weekend i will not be taking the bike. Just cause i have a cold coming on and i really don't want to drive 200 miles in the rain while feeling like crud.. we will see what we see. If not there is a nice summer fast approaching us. | ||

| Jugallo94 |
sounds like a plan. Dont think the wife has anything planned for me. Thursdays are iffy with work. Saturdays are best for me. But I can try for next thurs. the 26th right. let me know where and when. I just started riding this year in michigan. last year was first year riding, and I was in ohio for the summer for work. I am not to sure where good riding is except for up north. | ||

I was thinking the 19th... The roads down here are BORING!! but near my cottage, they are nice.. but usually filled w/ jackass drivers.. but hay round here there is a couple roads.. let me know if ya want to do thursday, or saturday.. if saturday then i could meet ya somewhere mutual... hopefully we can have a big gathering.. but who knows. We would have to go to Hooters, cause i owe Justin food, for getting my firebird home. so what ever. | ||

hey! i've already taken the 19th off from work(recovery time from the 12 am showing of starwars, i'm a geek) if you can do something within drive time of me i'm game. not quite the same area. or if anyoen wanted to come up here that day or that weekend there are some nice roads nearby me. | ||
| Blackbelt |
LMAO! if you want to drive down to Royal oak.. lol that is a good ride for ya. Just kidding. That would be like a 5 hour trip back... maybe 3-4 if you go fast. | ||
| Jugallo94 |
thursday the 19th is cool as long as the weather gets straightened up. how is the firebird coming along? I get out of work at five but if we do the ride I can try to get off at four. | ||
| Blackbelt |
Well we will see what the weather is like, but we can meet up somewhere, and get everything goin... | ||
| Jugallo94 |
